Compact 4Ch H.264 Network DVR-MU.Ver1.4
6.1 PC Connection through LAN
The following is a general example that shows how to find the basic network
information from the local area network (hub).
Step 1 Search Router IP Address
Enter “ipconfig” on DOS prompt and take note of the Default Gateway
value. This is the Router‟s IP Address.
Step 2 Determine your DVR IP address
Generally the usable IP Address is from 192.168.11.2~192.168.11.253.
The suggested IP Address available for assigned to other network devices
is from 192.168.11.160 to 192.168.11.199.
Step 3 Find out the available IP address
Enter ping and the IP address you would like to test on the DOS prompt
window.
When “Reply from [IP address]: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128” appears,
as in the following illustration, that means this IP address is occupied by
another network device.
If “Request timed out” appears, it means this IP address is not being used
now and can be used for the DVR.
NOTE
You must plan on the network structure if the MIS or Network
Administrator manages the network.
You should consult with the MIS or Network Administrator for the
IP address segment and port-forwarding rule for the DVR network
setup.
72
Compact 4Ch H.264 Network DVR-MU.Ver1.4
Step 4 Setup DVR IP Address
When you find a usable IP address, go back to DVR Network Setup menu
to enter IP address.
